Ciao everyone here it's Marchettino and finally my friends at DSW Wrapping bought a proper company car..
let's test it!
My friends at DSW bought this M4 and they've been kind enough to let me test it, I'm very curious to drive the M4 because even though
it's getting off production, this is the successor of my M3 E92, this car has already quite a few years and compared to the M3 E92 it's completely new and more efficient under every point of view.
In terms of look I find it bigger, more muscular, beautiful to look at.
And this configuration, grey with red interior and lots of carbon inside, very sporty but also very sober because if you look at it from the outside it doesn't get noticed
even though compared to a 4-Series you can tell by the look this is a sportier and pumped up version.
And you can tell that by blipping the throttle.
If on the M3 E92 we have a big 4.0L N/A V8, here rules downsizing
in front we have a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six with 430hp and 500nm.
Just 20hp more but what's impressive is the torque which is 30% more and by driving it you feel the difference.
To feel an even higher difference and enjoy this engine, let's switch the settings - now we're in Comfort - to Sport Plus with manual gear change.
It's an engine that offers lots of boost, the difference with my N/A V8 is huge because if with the V8
you always need to keep it above 5000rpm to feel a crescendo of power,
here it's not necessary to keep the engine at high revs to unleash the power.
You can tell it's a lot more nervous and rough with all this extra torque.
Another difference we can tell is the engine sound. I have to say, the stock exhaust of the M4 is not bad, I like the sound;
sure it's not like the N/A V8! I heard lots of M4s with aftermarket exhaust and I think it sounds terrible!
So I think the M4 with stock exhaust makes the most balanced and pleasant sound to hear.
Great gear changes too, so quick thanks to the double clutch!
I also like that on the central console there's a button that allows to choose the speed of gear changes, obviously on a car like this you keep the quickest gear change.
One particular thing about the M4 is that it's available also with the manual but most owners go for the double clutch and I understand them,
because I find if rather brilliant and allows to be used more on a daily basis.
Even though I think the manual offers a higher driving pleasure.
On the market, currently the manual M4s are penalized, they're worth it less than the double clutch ones but I think this trend will change someday.
Another thing I like by looking on the second hand market is that the low mileage M3 E92s have started to become more expensive than the second hand M4s!
Sure the downsizing and an era with more electronics and restrictions help the value growth of the M3 E92.. and I like it!
Even though I admit this M4 is superior under every aspect and even by sitting in the cockpit - let's switch to Comfort,
valves closed, smooth steering, fabulous! I can appreciate the interior which is amazing, to say the least!
this red leather that contrasts with the black plastics, lots of carbon, compared to the M3 the quality is on another level!
Let's switch to Sport Plus!
Redline is at 7500rpm, here we have about 800rpm less than the M3 E92 and the power delivery is quite different.
Because this is very powerful from the low revs 'till 6000rpm whereas the M3 E92 is the opposite, less powerful at low revs
whereas from 5000rpm to the redline is a crescendo of power and torque that keeps you pushed to the seat!
With the electronics off it's quite rough and nervous so I think if you want to drive it with the electronics off you need to have good skills.
Compared to the M3 this is more enraged.
The problem is, if we turn the electronics on
I'm driving flatout, the electronics cut all the power but even by getting out the roundabout
Even 3rd gear!
The electronics is very invasive, the car struggles to unleash the power!
Staight line 3rd gear, I see the traction control light blip!
With the electronics on it's annoying because it limits alot the power, with the electronics off you need to have good skills.
Great brakes too, here we have carbonceramics.
It's an option not many M4s have also because this is a 10k brakes system! - 13k! Aftermarket it should be around 13k!
Unless you're on trackdays every weekend, this is even too much for this car!
We're back at DSW and as you can see there's always good cars around, let's have a closer look at the M4!
I'm not crazy for this grey, I'd go for Audi Nardo Grey that would make it more aggressive, in this colour the car is a bit anonymous, maybe too much.
Another thing I can't stand on this car are the M logos that are pretty much everywhere!
Here we have 1,2,3,
4! Obviously we have them also on this side, if we get inside we find them also on the sill, on the pedal, on the steering wheel, on the dash, on the seats!
There's around 20 M logos it's irritating, there's not that much on the M3 there's no need to remind me this is a M wherever I look!
You can already tell that by the 4 exhaust pipes, the wider and muscular side, I think it's stupid to have so many M logos on the car.
In the cockpit of the M4 I would stay for hours with pleasure, I like these red seats that are very comfy but also very adaptive there's also
buttons underneath that allow to modify even the side of the seats.
Overal I like this M4 but owning an M3 E92, i struggle to justify a swap from the M3 E92 to this,
this one's more enraged and more tough to drive and honestly I prefer the power delivery and throttle response of the N/A even though with the M4, BMW made a great car!
I thank my friends at DSW Wrapping for lending me their M4 and
